This seems awesome. I’m grateful you are working on this.

Hi Emmannaemeka, Thanks for writing this, and sorry to hear that has been your experience so far. I don’t work in anything related to biology so I don’t think I can offer any solutions, unfortunately. The only thing that comes to mind, other than bio security, is that fermentation is one area that could be useful to produce alternative proteins. Perhaps the Good Food Institute could be a good place to look into. In any case, I think the EA community should be welcoming to everyone, even if there are no good ways to contribute to most typical EA causes. Again, thanks for writing this.

As a successful entrepreneur and 10% pledger, do you have thoughts on whether the EA community should devote more efforts to earning to give? Should EAs be trying to start more for-profit startups?

Why did you decide to focus Ayuda Efectiva and the book almost only on global health only?

How successful do you think Ayuda Efectiva is with respect to your expectations before funding it? Any recommendations for founders of other effective giving organisations on what are the most important factors contributing to its success?

I'd be doing less good with my life if I hadn't heard of effective altruism

I think the EA community has significantly encouraged me to do significantly more good, if only because I became vegetarian and signed the 10% pledge.

As the post says, it may be worth for europeans to provide feedback to the EU Commission on the new animal welfare public consultation: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/14671-On-farm-animal-welfare-for-certain-animals-modernisation-of-EU-legislation_en

I think we agree. Thinking out loud: Perhaps the community should consider a way to have a more transparent way of making these decisions. If we collectively decide to follow large funders, but are unable to understand their motives, it is impossible to have fund diversification.

I think this makes sense, but it seems kind of disconnected from the presentation, which seemed to indicate CAIP proposes reasonable policy and has a strong team. Perhaps Jason can clarify why he thinks major donors have passed on this opportunity.

That is actually a good point, thanks Jason.
